What are your favorite little gems in Stones tunes or albums that took you a while to notice but now you can't get enough of? My favorite is Keith's "Yeah!" right after the last beat of Brown Sugar. I always turn my stereo up to hear that. The radio always seems to cut that out though. Also the first time I noticed "paint it black you devil" on Flashpoint I nearly shat bricks!

Another one is near the end of "casino Boogie." Something happens that just completely changes the feel of the song, and I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. It's right after 2:25ish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXaqbdwI3Dc It sounds like a mistake but they literally recover a split second after it happens.

Your turn!

i have so many, just had one the other day on the long version of miss you.... it's keith's guitar tuning... it almost sounds off and messed up ,but it is amazing and unique... i'm drawing a blank on everything else but that b/c it was yesterday  i had it...

That little part in Emotional Rescue where it sounds as if Mick is taking a big toke off of a fat joint.

"Got Live If You Want It".....23 song version

When they go from Mona to the HOTTEST version of Everybody Needs Somebody To Love.

Absolutely electrifying! Makes me grin and laugh and jump up and....jump around. 

The bit right at the end of the bridge of "Rocks Off" where you can hear Keith say "oh baby!" in the background, right before "The sunshine bores the daylights out of me". Fucking love it.

Man, there are so many and corgi mentioned some of mine. I was just thinking about this the other day listening to PMS, in the great songs, there's always that moment of true grace.
*n PMS, when Mick sings, 'I heard some gossip...' and Nicky's piano does some kind of thing - like a cascade down to the root chord - I can't describe....and he does it again on the next line of that verse. And the way Charlie crashes on Keith's minor 7 chord, accenting it....soulful!
*n 'Winter', when MT's solo comes in, that whole section of the song becomes something else with the strings and Nicky's piano, again, doing something so beautiful I can't descibe it.
*Then there's the way Bill's bass line shifts in 'Beast of Burden', after the first verse, that just changes the entire mood of the song, it makes it one of those pretty, minor 7 grooves that makes the song more heartbroken. And when Mick sings 'in love enough...' - that way CHarlie's drums crash the cymbals before they go back into the main groove. Keith's guitar on this song is genious, one of my favorites: he doesn't play any "solos" - he just throws those beautiful licks in there and they seem so seamless.
MT's slide in 'Soul Survivor'  - just the way corgi described it, "creeping up to totally engulf the song"...
*Toward the end of 'Let it Loose' where - again - Nicky's piano does some kind of gospel thing I can't describe.
I love Bill's bass all the way through "Emotional Rescue" (it is Bill right?) and when Mick's voice drops from the falsetto to the that sexy, sleepy 'I was dreaming last night...' Mick at his unforced sexiest.
I love the way, In "Loving Cup", when on the second 'What a beautiful buzz' - ne begins the second one by going oooohhh....but he doesn't quite hit the right note at first, but lifts his voice to hit the note.....beautiful.
This list could be endless....

I always like Blondie Chaplin´s background vocals in LSTNT and Wanna Hold You in St.Loius 1998,it's a shame not to hear him on the DVD

Wow!!  Never heard of a 23 song version.  Any clues where that can be obtained from?

There's so many looking back, earliest was the fuzz tone on "Satisfaction" in '65 never heard anything like that, the way Mick sings like begging then threatning the words, Last Time when everything stops except the drums then the lick comes in loud, 19th N.B. when Charlie hits that cymbal loud, & his drumming in general & the words Here It Comes, here it comes, there's all kinds of gems like this, it's the dynamics in sound that stand out too.

Just a pleasure - yes it's indeed, Hungercity is one of the best ones - especially for people interested in Rolling Stones or Bob Dylan.

Another is on "Waiting on a friend", near the end, when the sax does a little solo. Man, i cry when i hear that! And i totally have translated it. It's a bit mournful (just hanging around...waiting, waiting), then it bounces around (joy!! There is the person i'm waiting for). It's one of the most powerful examples of music being put into a thought/feeling for me that i have experienced.

And though i am not a big fan, "Like a rolling stone" from St Louis 97 dvd always brings a lump to my throat. Just to see them on that little stage in the middle of the stadium with people going nuts really fires me up.

And a little bit of video image that i dig, is during the version of "Satisfaction" in "Gimme Shelter", where Mick is the main shot, but in the back ground Keith (in a red spangly jacket) leans back and rocks his head back and forth.

"Wild horses" - the 2nd time Charlie comes back in, with a little "skuffle" of the snare, and Taylor does that 1st moaning, mournful note. Fuck!!!!

The fade out of "Salt of the Earth".

Oh and who can forget Jagger's little goodbye to the young fans on "something happened to me yesterday" - pure hilarious genius. "And dont forget, if you're riding a bike, wear white".

lol

I tell ya, to quote Woody Harrelson from "zombieland" - " ya gott enjoy the little things"

Nothing or no one inspires me as much as this bloody group. There worst is other people's best. Their best...is the best!
